I believe you nailed it @JustinTSE (in each new and outdated video)
so, to wrap it up:
- Scale back your texture measurement to what you really need
- Purge unused supplies and elements
- Don’t create edges which are arduous to see in your viewport
@TheOnlyAaron is there another ideas?
Thanks
That’s elective–you’d simply hit purge all. Usually the gadgets are pre-checked and also you’d have the choice to deselect. Or you possibly can hit clear and choose particular person elements. This isn’t my creativeness–in Quickbooks if i am going to an inventory of transactions and need to delete, I get this actual menu. In my audio manufacturing software program, the identical. It is a frequent, tried and true characteristic when coping with lists of components. And I’ll add, once more, the straightforward means to kind–whether or not alphabetically, by file measurement, by tag, or another parameter, is inexplicably absent.
As little as attainable. I prefer to preserve previous used elements obtainable, however when the skp file begins getting too large I begin having efficiency points.
skp recordsdata? I can’t think about a file that enormous working, a minimum of not on my pc.
To every his personal. However I wouldn’t be so outspoken about this if the fundamental instruments I’m speaking about weren’t commonplace in different packages.
Sorting might be a useful characteristic in case your elements are absolutely spec’d out with all the obtainable information. I don’t see a lot of that on the Warehouse and in our case we do it by model quantity which is all we want. I agree it could be good to go looking based mostly on standards/identify and so on.
So that you searching for a purge guidelines and having the ability to order the checklist and search amongst the checklist?
I’m simply too lazy, I simply return to the effectively the place I do know what I’m searching for 
Our file sizes are pushed by doing 4 showrooms on one flooring of Neocon on the Merchandise Mart. There’s a purpose our machines have 64gb of RAM.
…plus: visible indication of elements in use, the affiliation with tags (sortable), “file” measurement of part (sortable), possibility for bigger thumbnails, “take me there” when chosen, repair context click on downside, to call a couple of. I created a publish on the topic right here: The part browser is horrible. Show me unsuitable
Word: My first publish and I’m very new to SU.
If you wish to see my file, which is 350Mb and has over 10M elements? 
I’m completely struggling to handle my venture and I even thought my Rog Zephyrus M16(i9) must be changed as a result of it’s lagging in SU and the fixed noise is insufferable.
I haven’t modeled something myself, and all elements I’ve imported both from Revit or AutoCAD 3D. Though a lot of the elements are fairly organized for now, I really want to get the file extra manageable and smaller. If any of you specialists wish to give me assist, I might purchase some providers from you.
Hopefully with this request I ain’t brake any discussion board guidelines
The “manageable” and “smaller” properties are partly various things. Mannequin efficiency relies upon nearly solely on the quantity of edges, faces and supplies SketchUp has to shuffle round. File measurement relies upon largely on mannequin group and the way effectively every little thing repeating has been was elements.
You’ll be able to add your mannequin to a file sharing service and share the hyperlink to get recommendations from discussion board members about what to do with it.
Uploaded the massive file and likewise three space recordsdata which I produced from one large file.
There’s some modeling that also must do – like wall and ceiling framing for a 1000m2 space (space 470 mannequin) – wall cladding must be organized for that space. Elements want to make use of extra life like colours. Ground works – like leveling, and tiling must be organized.
My foremost aim is to have it managed in 5D software program (Syncro, Bexel), so I might management 3D additionally time and cost-wise. I’m simply frightened my venture will finish earlier than I get my 3D mannequin achieved, lol. The mannequin received’t want additionally correct measures however must have all elements for QTO and materials and process scheduling.

And don’t dangle me, as a result of I’m simply BIM-idea fanatic, however I would sound too removed from the precise data. Possibly I ought to simply persist with a pencil and paper!? 
I downloaded your file. It has one thing like 14 million edges and 6 million faces. The principle purpose appears to be that it has been imported from another software program in order that the mannequin may be very triangulated. Working ThomThom’s CleanUp extension with all of the containers checked form of decimated the geometry. Look if one thing went lacking. It’s nonetheless moderately unwieldy. Hope it isn’t Estonia.
401 – HULL2.skp (8.4 MB)
Kiitos Anssi!
It’s not Estonia, it’s considerably referred to as a inside venture in cruise ships, thehee…
I’ve been operating additionally CleanUp 3 for the mannequin. It has been decreased some megabytes, however not so drastically that I might drop concept to purchase myself some higher machine.
Hull i’ve been importing from STEP recordsdata,
Inside I’ve imported from Revit or AutoCad 3D dwg recordsdata.
Solely suppose I can consider, is to start out once more from the start, and for greater space every part, i’ve to after importing do all columns and different rounded faces some element discount… then clear part with CleanUp… does it matter if I put all elements to layer 0? What am I shedding after doing so?
And greetings to Finland
Thanks
The one function of Tags is to manage visibility.
One of the best observe is to herald every downloaded part to a brand new file for cleanup and measurement discount earlier than including it to the principle mannequin.
For an inside design venture I might in all probability overlook about what’s contained in the hull and deck constructions and risk them as kinds with an outer and inside floor and nothing inside. When the mannequin is completed nobody will see contained in the deck anyway.
When cleansing the mannequin up, I believe a lot of the extra geometry was within the deck beams with holes in them. Selecting to not mannequin the holes would cut back the mannequin additional.
Like brandt.esko I’m additionally new to this discussion board and nonetheless studying SKP.
My {hardware} is a ROG Zephyrus G14., AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS,32GB ram.
Rendering software program is Podium plugin.
I’m engaged on a mannequin for a marina & industrial buying/plaza, bodily the world covers an space round 1km x 2km (2 islands and a piece of the mainland) which I would like to look precisely within the background once I generate views.
So-far the mannequin is round 350Mb with the marina sparsely populated with boats. Other than some over-exposure points and some bugsplats it’s nonetheless manageable.
Now the consumer has requested for some photographs of a boat-show he needs to host on the positioning, so – absolutely populated with a variety of 20m to 50m luxurious yachts. (all distinctive designs, copy-paste rows of equivalent boats seems dreadful)
To do that I deleted al the proposed buildings however I nonetheless obtained filesize of 660Mb.
After studying this thread I used to be reminded to purge the file, which took round quarter-hour to finish and it decreased the scale to 600Mb.
I’m getting extra bugsplats – so I save so much (which takes 5 minutes) and the file takes about 7 minutes to load.
Asus have some good diagnostic software program which permits me to maintain monitor of what assets I m operating out of – Once I’m rendering the CPU is operating at as much as 90% and it reaches temps round 93 deg, however the RAM by no means rises above round 70% capability. (22Gb used)
Home windows takes round 4Gb, and with the 600Mb file open & idle 10.6Gb is used.
It appears to me that including RAM received’t assist deal with the recordsdata, I would like extra CPU. Does Sketchup assist multi-core processing? or are 7 of my cores sitting idle?
No 3D modelling software helps multithreading (apart from some restricted duties like non-realtime rendering). Autodesk promised to make 3D Studio Max modelling multithreaded some 30 years in the past nevertheless it has not but materialized.
